Polo (music)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Polo designates two forms of Venezuelan folk music. One that originates from Margarita Island and another one that is played in Coro, in the state of Falcón.

[edit] Polo Margariteño

The Polo from Margarita is a song in décima form, that is: ten verses of eight syllables each.

The harmonic structure is VII-III-V-i. This is the same progression as the song Guárdame las Vacas (an old Spanish song immortalized in the 1500's by the variations written by Luis de Narváez).

[edit] Polo Coriano

Pending research about Cheché Acosta Fuguet (past), and the duo of Nano Bravo and Chucho Penso (current).
